What is the actual fuel tank capacity of the JAC S3?

The fuel tank capacity of the JAC S3 is 45L, which is the officially announced data. The JAC S3 uses 92-octane fuel, with a fuel consumption of 6.7L per 100 kilometers. A full tank can cover a distance of 671km. During daily driving, it is necessary to pay attention to the remaining fuel level in the tank at all times. Generally, the fuel level is observed through the fuel gauge inside the car. If there are no other issues, the fuel level will be accurately reflected on the gauge. The fuel gauge on the dashboard usually has 5 to 6 segments. It is recommended to refuel when there are only 2 segments left to avoid running out of fuel midway. During the actual refueling process, the amount of fuel may exceed the marked capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity marked by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safety level, and there is still some space from the safety level to the tank opening. This space is reserved to ensure that the fuel inside the tank can expand when the temperature rises without overflowing. If fuel is added up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the marked tank capacity.
As a veteran driver who has been driving the JAC S3 for many years, I remember the official fuel tank capacity is 45 liters. A full tank usually lasts about 400 to 500 kilometers, depending on driving habits and road conditions. In city traffic with frequent stops and starts, fuel consumption is higher, resulting in shorter range. However, on highways, it's more fuel-efficient and can reach around 500 kilometers. When refueling, I often notice that after the pump stops, there's still room for an extra liter or two, but that's a safety margin—it's generally best not to overfill to avoid fuel spillage. The tank size is very convenient for daily commuting; a full tank can last over a week without needing to visit a gas station, saving a lot of time. For maintenance, regularly check the fuel cap seal to prevent foreign objects from entering and affecting performance, ensuring accurate fuel level calculations.
